If you hadn't already guessed, the joke is on you ;) This is the final installment of the Sword Fight Club franchise, and we wanted to go out with a bang (the actual sword-fight starts at about 1:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb0mNj79YM0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb0mNj79YM0 As...

Hey all! It's been a while, but I finally got around to finishing my next video, Sword Fight Club: Origins. You can watch it here, and read all about it below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQEPWYUnPdk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQEPWYUnPdk I made the other two Sword Fight Club videos...

Shameless plugs are my favorite! http://www.youtube.com/user/PeteStreetFilms

UPDATE: That happened, and it was glorious :D

Hahaha, agreed!

District 9 is half-mockumentary. There are many different styles of shaky-cam, which can be used to different effects. They range from "authentic" to "bad"

Hey all! My friends and I are just now starting to shoot a miniseries leading up to the final Sword Fight Club video, and for one of the videos we are trying to pack in as many strange things as possible. And by strange, I'm thinking of things like this: http://i.imgur.com/Oip6aap.gif If you...

That was really great. The thing that bugged me was that I recognized the people from Hapstance films, so I immediately assumed that more of it was fake. Still, a solid job!

Yep, you can't make an indie film unless you drop at least $5k. If you really wanted to make it good, you'd spend at least $10k. Also, finding people who love the process and the end product, and enjoy being part of a collective effort even though they aren't paid loads of money is a waste of...

"Originality is undetected plagarism." We all borrow from outside influences, so as long as you're not directly (and overtly) copying someone else's work, you're just fine.

Is it a coincidence that swords (and in this case fingers) are phallic symbols?

Dangit, you're right! Forget I posted anything, people. Nothing to see here...

I decided to make an official page for our (really) stupid series of youtube videos (the first two are released, and we are in the process of making an "origins" series as well as a culminating Sword Fight Club 3). The amount of shameless self-promotion that my friends have done for these...

They made that movie with full awareness of how close to the actual incident they were. Greengrass stayed away from most of the sterotypical "dramatic" shots and dialogue -- it's all underplayed because the reality of the situation is more important than stylistic flourishes. They could have...

And in the case of United 93, as the audience we're supposed to feel as if we are there watching them. We wouldn't be watching them from the front...

Would you be planning on investing in more lenses in the future? If it was me, I would get the single wider stock lens (as that one is actually fairly decent at what it does), and then add a few primes in the future. For cheap primes, browse this forum for opinions on some good-quality cheap...

The more of a "gear-whore" you become (as has happened to me a little bit, admittedly), the more you realize that buying this next piece of hardware won't make you a better storyteller. Sure it may make the process easier, but it is not a replacement for the art side of it. I'll buy new...

Perhaps this one? http://vimeo.com/20833462 I don't know of too many short films that are that long...

With the thread on the Red Giant sale, I thought I would also mention that there's a sale on the Rokinon 24mm f/1.4. It's selling for $500, which is $150-200 less than normal. I'm seriously considering picking this up...

Do you think Colorista 2 is worth it? Given that I already have Colorista Free and Adobe Speedgrade (which I currently have no clue how to use). Colorista 2 looks sweet, but it would be cool to hear an opinion from someone who has used it. Thanks!
